After all the celebrations (& cakes!) on Monday after our group run to celebrate 10 years of GoodGym & John’s birthday Worthing GoodGym had to join in with the #GGSuperSaturday grand finale! On a sunny Worthing Saturday our community mission was to help out our friends at Worthing parkrun with 11 of us filling the volunteer roles. John and Natacha pitched up early to help with set up so that they could also get out to run. Belinda took charge as Run Director & with new batteries in the megaphone there was no excuses for missing any of the run briefing, including an explanation about GoodGym! Daisy & Paul took on the important and often feared timekeeping role, both opting to use the super easy virtual volunteer app on their phones. Sue was kept busy handing out finish tokens to the 457 finishers. Gill and Graham were responsible for barcode scanning, with Duncan supporting by recording any non scanning barcodes and chasing after all the finish tokens when the breeze took them off the sorting board. Ros and Barbara were out on the prom cheering on the runners & keeping everyone safe with many of the runners, joggers and walkers also cheering & thanking them! What a great morning and a great way to showcase GoodGym and support our local parkrun!
